Million dollar 360° views in the daytime and beacon lit at nights make the Beauty and the Beach™ beachfront lighthouse one of the most unique and romantic getaways in Crystal Beach and the whole state of Texas.

Living area can comfortably accommodate 8 adult or up to 14 guests using bunks and sofa beds. Huge outdoor area, 150 ft of private beachfront and no neighbors on any side make it a rare gem chosen by many for their weddings, honeymoons and anniversaries.

Lighthouse is located right on the beach with buyout lots on both sides, so you and your family will enjoy ocean and nature in a very private environment. The house is built on the wooden stilts and elevated quite well which gives you amazing views from almost any window. As a bonus it will give you a feeling of a treehouse during stronger winds.

There is a hot tub with scenic ocean view, a heated outdoor shower to rinse after beach activities and a box with beach chairs, umbrellas and other complimentary beach gear for you to use.

Using stairs is a must to get in and out of the property, but for an extra $100 per reservation fee we can grant access to an elevator (included in event fee if you book us for a wedding).

Beauty and the Beach serves also as a wedding venue for up to 200 ceremony and reception guests. Wedding package has to be paid separately at our site www.crystalbeachwedding.com.

Lighthouse beacon is programmed to turn on at dusk. You will have no access to the beacon or lighthouse maintenance room.

There is a little bedroom in the lighthouse tower. Because of the unique architecture of the tower it's a little small, but fits queen bed and enjoys the best view. It is also the warmest room in the building because tower design makes the warm air go up. If temperature is not comfortable enough, there is a back-up option to use pull-out sofas in the living room.

* Free parking outside. No access to covered garage as we keep maintenance items in there.

** Decor and furniture may change and exactly the same design is not guaranteed.

*** You must be over 25 years old to book the place. Ratio of 1 adult over 25 to every 3 guests under 25 is required. Parties not allowed. Pets are not allowed. Please keep this place clean and romantic.

**** We are on a septic, please use water only as necessary. Water heater is smaller too, so please avoid excessive showering.

***** Bugs play a significant role in the ecosystem of the Texas coast, which is distinctly different from the inland areas. Although we engage the best pest control provider on the Peninsula for regular, comprehensive services both indoors and outdoors, and also consistently apply pesticides to the lawn, we're nestled amidst vast stretches of untouched nature. Consequently, you'll likely encounter many common Texas bugs. These include but are not limited to: Mosquitoes, Fire Ants, Cockroaches, Fleas, Ticks, June Bugs, Lovebugs, Brown Recluse Spiders, Black Widow Spiders, Yellow Jackets, Honeybees, Carpenter Ants, Mites, Lone Star Ticks, Centipedes, Cabbage White Butterflies, Dragonflies, Damselflies, and Gulf Fritillary Butterflies. This location is for true nature lovers!

    Wonderful place, very clean, lots of appliances to use. Only the 2 of us but was perfectly happy until we had to leave early due impending cold in North Texas. Irene was super easy to communicate with. I'm sure it is a great place for a wedding. Elevator helped us old people's saving grace. Thank you Irene for sharing your place.

    The lighthouse not only met, but exceeded our expectations. Comfortably held our crew without feeling like we were all on top of one another. Irene is an amazing host and was there for all of our needs. She responded to messages quickly and made special requests happen without hesitation. The location is an absolute dream and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a magical place to stay on the coast.

    If you are on the fence about this rental - I'd recommend that you do it. I thought the cleaning fee was a bit high, but after checking in you can see why. This is the cleanest property we've rented from VRBO in the Galveston/Crystal beach area. The house is well appointed and the interior feels fairly new. We really appreciated that all cabinets were labeled, and the attention to detail in the check in materials. Check in and Check out were an absolute breeze. We messaged the owners a few times during our stay and they were very responsive. The location is really nice and having the lots on either side as part of the property makes it feel like we weren't at the crowded beaches of Galveston. We really enjoyed our time here and can't wait to come back!

    We usually stay at Jamaica Beach on the other side of Galveston island but decided to switch things up this year. The “Lighthouse” as we call it is perfectly nestled by itself with the nearest neighbors being one house over on either side. This positioning gives one a great sense of peace, quiet, and privacy that other beach houses can’t. Waking up to the ocean from the top floor is spectacular. Our favorite part of the house is the beautiful large kitchen that allowed us to easily cook family meals each night. My only complaint is that the hot tub was smaller then we thought and took a long time to heat up.

    This place is awesome!!!! Super nice and very clean. Having the elevator was awesome so you don't have to haul luggage up the stairs. This place has amazing views and right on the water. We had so much fun there. I would definitely go to Bolivar Peninsula again if I could stay at this place!

    The location of the home couldn't be better. Beach access is a walk downstairs and over the dunes. The property itself is very accomidating for a small to large group of people, and setup for guest entertainment with the variety of ammenities and social locations offered. It's also the perfect getaway for a romantic couple when needed. We will be staying here again!

    Our family had a great stay at Beauty and the Beach. Being able to walk directly onto the beach from the house instead of having to drive was well worth it. Loved the views and comfortable seating in kitchen and living room. Communication with host was easy and always quick responses. One of the best things about this house is the gazebo. You can enjoy the ocean view from the shade and still keep an eye on the kids at the beach. We traveled with elderly parents with knee issues, so paying extra for the elevator was a must for us…although the elevator does seem a bit old and makes you wonder if it is safe at times. It did work, but sometimes it seemed to stick on one floor or another when we tried to retrieve it. we never had serious issues with it and no one was ever stuck on the elevator, so it served its purpose. We had seven in our family and there was plenty of room. We originally planned to have 14 and had we had everyone, it would have been crowded with only the two bathrooms. As long as you know that ahead of time from the listing and pay attention to the bed layout, the house does accommodate 14 as listed…just not a ton of privacy if that is important. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent again at Beauty and tue Beach.

    We were very impressed by the hosts here at Beauty and Beach Lighthouse. Stephanie was so great, very accommodating. The staff that assisted us were kind respectful and very helpful. The location was beautiful and the experience to stay at the Lighthouse was enjoyed completely by the honeymooners! Every part of the house had charm and the views were spectacular. Thank you so much for an amazing wedding venue.
